Boolean actions are the fastest way to build complex shapes from simple ones. In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to merge, cut, and combine paths in Vector Ink to create clean, professional vector artwork for logos, icons, and more.
Union (Merge): Combines selected shapes into a single path. Great for fusing overlapping geometry into one clean object.
Subtract (Minus Front): Uses the top shape to cut away from the shape beneath it. Perfect for punching holes or carving details.
Intersect: Keeps only the overlapping area between shapes. Ideal for precise cutouts and emblem centers.
Exclude Overlap: Removes the overlapping region and keeps non-overlapping parts. Useful for decorative rings and frames.
A compound path is a single object made from multiple sub-paths (for example, an outer shape with an inner “hole”). After a Subtract, you often end up with a compound path: the outer contour plus an inner contour, stored together as one editable object.
Open two overlapping shapes in Vector Ink and try each Boolean action. In minutes, you’ll be constructing logos, badges, and icons with crisp, edit-friendly geometry.
The Selection Tool is your everyday driver in Vector Ink. It’s how you select, move, resize, rotate—and it unlocks powerful actions like multi-select, target-based alignment, scale from center, and anchor-based transforms. Whether you’re on desktop, tablet, or phone, this quick guide shows you how to work faster and more precisely.
Dial in your workspace and outputs the right way. This tutorial covers Project Settings (grids, guides, rulers, snap), Document Settings (size, background, units), and Export options (PNG/JPG, transparency, selection bounds, and crop) so your designs are precise and production-ready.
Shadows add instant depth, hierarchy, and polish to your vector designs. In this quick tutorial, you'll learn how to use Shadow Properties in Vector Ink to create subtle UI shadows, bold logo lighting, and everything in between. We'll cover enabling shadows, revealing opacity, positioning with the on-canvas control, and dialing in blur and color.
In this tutorial, we create a professional logo in minutes using the AI Image Generator inside Vector Ink. You’ll see text-to-image generation, smart redraws that riff on your selection, and masked image-to-image edits to surgically change parts of a design while keeping the rest intact.
Vector Ink’s AI Image Generator lets you create logos, icons, illustrations, badges, textures, and more with guided styles and prompt controls — then refine results directly on the canvas. In this guide, you will learn how to generate art, switch styles, redraw existing images, vectorize raster results, and remove backgrounds, all without leaving Vector Ink.
This continuation of our Selection Tool series dives into the Control Bar and its most precise companion—the Transform Panel. You’ll learn how to apply numeric, exact edits for size, rotation, position, skew, and visibility so your logos, icons, and layouts snap into place with confidence.
